This episode features Antoni Porowski, the food and wine expert on the hit show Queer Eye. If you haven’t seen it yet, the premise is beautifully simple: five experts transform the lives of ordinary people through their good taste, good humour and good advice — and Antoni’s role in that usually begins in the kitchen. This man loves food.

The new season of Queer Eye has just kicked off on Netflix, and so I spoke to Antoni about the making of the show, the oddness of the audition process, the perfect way to cook scrambled eggs (it involves water), and the best way to disarm people when you meet them for the first time. Enjoy.

This interview took place prior to the historic events and peaceful protests that have occurred over the past several weeks
